The Mysterious Tapping Beneath Our Pad
I haven't posted in a while, but I'm hoping for some assistance from the extraordinary Eerie Realm community. In the past week, I've started hearing an exceptionally odd tapping sound coming from beneath my pad, something like a finger tapping but with a "popping" quality. At first, I thought it was an internal ear issue, but my spouse has been experiencing this, on and off, for about two years She kept calm about it until it began keeping her awake at night.
It usually starts with a single tap, followed by a fast burst of three, then another three, and can continue for long periods. Sometimes, it seems like it's coming from the inner ear, but then it's clearly coming from beneath the pad. My spouse has heard it loudly next to her on the bed. There have also been loud thumps and taps on the room's walls, doors, and other objects.
My initial thought, which has always worked for meddling supernatural activity in the past, was to talk out loud, telling whatever it is to please be calm so we can rest. This seemed to work for a night but returned with a vengeance last night. I have to go to work soon and didn't get more than a collective couple of hours of rest. I understand that modifying the room (for any reason) can sometimes offer assistance, but I trust that somebody here on Eerie Realm has experienced something similar and knows how to make this phenomenon cease.
My spouse and I have experienced several supernatural events in this room—everything from a loud, complex ticking (that I've written about) to shadow figures and free voices. Unlike those occurrences, this one doesn't seem to want to stop. Fortunately, we will be away for the following four nights, but any thoughts or speculations will be much appreciated.
